BTW Terry, I've just noticed that you've changed the subject by
including the "... v salt" expression. The exchange between Mike Ware
and I actually has nothing to do with: vandyke *versus* argyrotype
*versus* salt *versus* kallitype (and whatever combination you may wish
to create using the *versus* word). We were not comparing these
processes (Vandyke, Kallitype, Argyrotype) in terms of beauty, ease ect.
I mean the messages were not intended to "compare" these processes.
Moreso with Salt Print; Mr. Ware stated clearly that Salt Print is quite
different because it's not an "Iron based" process. My rationale in
mentioning Salt Print was totally related to the outcome ifself -
colloidal silver on paper (same as the other processes mentioned), it
wasn't mentioned in a purely-process-related context. The exchange was
made in order to clarify a couple of things regarding Argyrotype
stability, the actual claims made on this issue (or never-made claims)
and how people received these (wrongly or correctly).
Just wanted to clarify.
Regards,
Loris.

Subject: Re: FW: An exchange with Mike Ware (on Argyrotype) v salt
Can we bear in mind the objective of the exercise which is make
pictures.
One point that has come out of this discussion is that the salt print, a
silver process, has beautiful gradation and a long tonal range
comparable to platinum, qualities that make it satisfying to the
artist/craftsman.
It is also beautifully simple.
